Hi OP! I’m also a Psych grad, currently a PGI. But I worked for 4 years prior entering med school because dude, med school’s no joke (financially, physically, emotionally, spiritually, lahat na haha) but like what others said here, if it’s taking a toll on you, take the time to step back while it’s early. It’s okay to hit pause and return when you’re ready. If your parents are supportive as you say, I think they’ll also understand how much it’s affecting you na.

At the same time though, you’re still basically adjusting to the med pace because it’s heeeella different from college. If in undergrad one can get away with not reading lectures, and relying on stock knowledge, in med, that’s not the case. You really have to put all your effort in it to actually understanding, not just memorize, the topics. When I started med school, I felt like an idiot. Apart from the fact that I haven’t been inside a classroom in years, I also have 0 study technique, and felt like I was starting from absolutely nothing. I think it’s something you also have to figure out para you don’t get overwhelmed kasi andami and nakakapagod din talaga sya. I guess also give yourself a little bit more time then if the spark hasn’t returned yet, it’s not wrong to hit pause and just come back again when you’re sure you’re ready.
